    Furman's intriguingly screechy vocal delivery, amalgamating Jack White doing his best Johnny Rotten impression with a gritty, Jagger-esque howl shooting for glam metal heights, gives a shot of energy and adrenaline to passable but largely unremarkable instrumentation. Barring the plodding, floor-shaking "Trauma" and the doo-wop infused "I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend", the album isFurman's intriguingly screechy vocal delivery, amalgamating Jack White doing his best Johnny Rotten impression with a gritty, Jagger-esque howl shooting for glam metal heights, gives a shot of energy and adrenaline to passable but largely unremarkable instrumentation. Barring the plodding, floor-shaking "Trauma" and the doo-wop infused "I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend", the album is consistently at its most interesting and entertaining when aping the ferocious garage punk of The Hives and The White Stripes, though you could always do worse when it comes to influences.

    Não apresenta muita diferença em relação a outras bandas do gênero, mas é bem produzido e nos remete ao rock dos anos 50.

    Despite the pain expressed, or maybe because of it, this is a fun record.

    She has a lot going on up there, and she seems to feel a responsibility to sort through it all. An impatient conversationalist might prod her to just spit it out. On her most direct and brash album yet, Twelve Nudes, Furman does exactly that, and spits in a few faces along the way.

    Coming in at 26 minutes, Twelve Nudes doesn’t hang around and, by design, is a much more modest record than Transangelic Exodus. It rarely matches the highs on last year’s effort, but paired together, it suggests Furman is the midst of a prolific period.
